Hi, my name's Alexis!

Ryan

i.e. my back-up therapist

I'll start with the boring stuff: I am about to graduate with a degree in business with a focus in marketing and communications at the University of Michigan. I was born and raised in a small city in Metro Detroit. I love dogs, color coordination, and the beach. If you want to know more or contact me, click here!

When I first started my capstone project, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do. Like none. Zilch. Nada. And then, one day, a single word

popped into my head: dreams! But I still had no idea what I wanted to do.

You see, I thought my capstone

project had to be this big, all-encompassing piece of work that perfectly capped my college writing career and was funny and insightful and made you go "wow, that girl has her life together!"

And then I figured out that that would be a load of crap. Because I'm not that funny, or insightful, and I sure as hell don't have my life together.

So then I decided that for this project to work, and for me to spend all

semester on it, it had to be an honest reflection of myself. So I thought of things that interested me, things that I wanted to spend my time researching. Again, a single world

popped into my head: dreams. They're inconsistent, sometimes weird, and don't really make sense all the time; just like me! It was a match made in heaven.

There was only one issue: I knew absolutely nothing about dreams, besides the fact that you have them some nights and they can be weird or crazy or impossible. Basically nothing. Zilch. Nada. So I knew that if I wanted to base my project on dreams, I would need to get researching...

So this project was a culmination of a lot of different things. Namely, a big hot mixing pot of my fascination with the unknown, sub par-but-improving research skills, and a desire to learn more about myself through my dream

self. And it's a little inconsistent. And weird. And doesn't always make perfect sense. But I hope you got a little something out of it anyway.
